Attention licensed party boat captains! I'm looking for individual(s) to join our team this Spring! I'm looking for experienced boat captains that have worked on party barges with two engines on Lake Travis, and have the availability to work weekdays as well. You will run yacht charters on boats that are 40 feet in length, and are well kept. I'd prefer someone that can run a boat with separate throttle and transmission controls, but that does not single you out I can train you to run the boat properly. If you have mechanical aptitude to understand what is going on with the boat, is a huge plus.
Expectations:
1. You need to be personable, friendly, patient, but able to get control of a group of people when needed.
2. A must is following the safety guidelines that are set for the company, and you are able to articulate those to the customer in a professional manner.
3. I expect the boat and my captains to be respected by the customers, and I back my captains up to make sure things go smoothly for you and the guests while on charter.
4. You have to abide by absolutely no alcohol or drug use while on the job, period, no exceptions!
5. Looking for someone clean cut, well kept, and professional.
6. You know how to properly dock a boat, anchor a boat, tie off boats, and hand pull an anchor when neccessary depending on the boat.
7. Again, have to be able to work weekdays.
8. Be on time to get the boat ready for charter.
9. Communicate with your charter guests via text 2 days before their scheduled charter (I'll explain in more detail via interview)
Benefits:
1. No cooking for customers!
2. Paid the day you are on charter!
3. Groups are not huge like on party barges!
4. You make great income!
5. Clean up times are short on our boats(procedures are in place)
6. If something needs to be fixed, you need extra supplies, etc - it gets done quickly
7. Maintenance, supplies, repairs, etc are communicated via mobile app - checklist is used so you see when task is completed.
Also, massive amounts of work go into our yachts annually, parts are replaced, maintenance is kept up, and updates happen yearly I don't send my customers or captains out on garbage equipment.
Groups will range from 5 to 18 people, so nowhere near what you are use to on a party barge. Clientele for the most part have good incomes, and are pulled together, due to the cost of renting the yacht. Need to be available from March through middle/end of October.
You are paid while on charter, plus a mandatory 20% captain service fee. Captains average between 4k-6k in income per month. Captain service fee is provided by the customer(and is mandatory in the full 20%), so your 1099k is very low captain service fee is up to you to report if you choose to do so. You will be paid via Venmo, Paypal or another app the day of your work no waiting two weeks for your pay!

NOTE - please do not waste my time with job inquiries for people who have not run big boats, were heavy equipment operators, you drove your Dad's boat, etc - you will not get a response I just don't have time to waste on those inquiries. Thank you! :)
